For a Diverse Group of Guys

Allen Bowl, Allen
$$$$
972.727.9108
This is the bowling alley that's been around for decades. It's just a little less expensive than the other bowling locations in the area.
Also has five coin-op pool tables for those that consider themselves a pool shark.1011 S. Greenville Avenue, Allen

iFly Dallas, Frisco
$$$$$
214.618.4359
While sky diving may be out of the comfort zone for most people, it is geared to both beginners and experts--as long they're healthy. (So probably not best
to bring your father-in-law if he has a heart condition.) Even the kids take on this challenge, so while it is an extraordinary evening event, it isn't unsafe.8380 State Hwy 121, Frisco

Hard Knocks, Plano
$$$$$
214.396.7775 (Plano)
Unlike your typical laser tag, this is indoor war! Missions take place in combat zones such as a warehouse or office cubicle. If planning a bachelor
party or you have several in your group, contact their group sales department for special pricing and missions.8740 Ohio Drive, Plano

National Videogame Museum, Frisco
$$$
972.668.8400
This is certainly NOT a "no-touch" museum; this museum's mission is to have as many video games available as possible for their guests to play! Some
game tokens are included with each admission ticket. 100,000 videogame consoles, games and artifacts from the past and present. 8004 North Dallas Parkway, Frisco (inside the Frisco Discovery Center)

Strikz, Frisco
$$
972.668.5263
Imagine a "gunfight" of laser tag with your buddies! Or, settle for some billiards or bowling. Great fun in an environment your wife will approve.8789 Lebanon Road, Frisco

Top Golf, Allen
$$$-$$$$
469.675.9730
These folks insist you don't need to play golf to enjoy this game. What can enduce male-bonding more than shooting golf balls from your own bay,
eating guy food, and laughing together?1500 Andrews Parkway, Allen

TUPPS Brewery, McKinney
$-$$$$$
214.856.7996
Tours are offered Saturdays, and what guy wouldn't want to do a brewery tour--especially when it includes beer? Unique open atmosphere in an old cotton
mill with $5 beers. Open Weds-Fri evenings, Saturday 11am-10pm.721 Anderson, McKinney

If the members of your group used to play hockey, and you have the equipment packed on a shelf at home, grab your gear and drop in for some stick time.

Edge Skate Park, Allen
Free
214.509.4760
Said to be the largest in the state of Texas, it features a concrete skate park, two roller-hockey rinks, BMX track and Visitor Center. No joke, park
officials consider this a high risk activity but protective gear is strongly recommended.200 St. Mary Drive, Allen

Go Ape Tree Top Adventure, Plano
$$$$$
Some athletic ability is good to get through the numerous rope ladders and 39 crossings which finishes with a zip line! It'll get your group out of
their comfort zone, but we're told a fear of heights shouldn't stop anyone as they can talk you through it!5901 Los Rios Blvd, Plano

Hydrous Wake Park, Allen
$$$$-$$$$$
214.755.9905
While an inclination toward sports is a good thing going into this, there is a beginner area set apart from those who know what they're doing. Kick
your adrenaline into high gear here and have fun laughing at one another if you're all in the beginner catagory! It's also okay to just go watch and
decide if your group has the courage to go forth. Open year round.580 N. Cedar Drive, Allen

Allen Eagles, Allen
$$
972.727.0437
This may be high school football, but they're state champions for the past three years and in 2008. And you may have heard a little thing about their
$60 million stadium. Watch website for game locations.
